Gibson Assembly provides an efficient and reliable approach for constructing an infectious clone of ToMMV, which reproduced disease symptoms and pathogenicity, providing a valuable tool for future research on ToMMV biology.
These findings identify DNA-B as a major determinant of tomato infectivity and reveal an essential role for CP in systemic movement of the Mediterranean ToLCNDV isolate.
The results indicate that the genetic architecture of corn in response to MaYMV is complex, and that developing immune cultivars may not be achievable using natural sources of genetic variation, but this study provides a foundation for breeding maize with improved tolerance and advances the understanding of host respon...

Potato viral infections are among the main factors contributing to reduced quality of planting material and decreased tuber productivity. Currently, no reliable chemical control methods are available for plant viral diseases. Therefore, the development of potato cultivars carrying virus resistance genes remains one of...
